staff must wash hands

I was in the bathroom of Borders the other day when I noticed a sign on the wall near the sink. The sign read Staff must wash hands. Now the implications of this sign really bother me. Firstly it bothers me a great deal that any staff members, potentially stationed in the cafe, needs a reminder to wash their hands after using the bathroom! I mean really, how hard is it to remember to wash ones hands, you can't be that lazy... Well I guess we are in America and the inventor of the automatic sink turner on sensor thingy obviously thought we, Americans were to lazy to turn on our own faucets, but on a side note I honestly feel that all the waving one must do in order to get the thing to actually turn on seems like a lot more work then turning a nob. Anyway, secondly this sign also causes me to beg why hand washing is only demanded of the staff...I personally feel a bit disturbed that whomever felt it was necessary to put up that sign didn't feel the message was important enough to include everyone in its request, how about everyone wash your hands? What is this world coming to? We can't turn faucet nobs and we need signs to tell us to keep sanitary. I am over reacting a little, I know. Other then that I'm quite in love with Borders. A borders near us just closed and it had an interesting effect. I visited this Borders at the end of its life and in it's bathroom the walls were covered with mournful graffiti. we love you borders, we will miss you. Its closing was like a symbolic remind of pleasure reading's slow demise. In some ways the future does scare me, because I see us universally losing some of our humanity and personality. Technological evolution is important but so is social evolution. We are losing our imagination quicker, why read when you can watch...We are less inclined to personal contact, we text, we get inline for the self check out, we sacrifice relationships for more money or time. We are obsessed with time and the future; one can't stop to enjoy the moment because one doesn't have time! But I must ask WHY?
